A non-canon prequel to the original 2002 film that detailed Stitch's "first" prison escape, it was located in the Tomorrowland area of Magic Kingdom at the Walt Disney World Resort, as the fourth attraction to occupy the building and theater space that was previously used for Flight to the Moon, Mission to Mars and the Extraterrorestrial Alien Encounter.

Designed by Walt Disney Imagineering, many of the animators who worked on Lilo & Stitch were directly involved with the attraction's development.

On September 21, 2003, Magic Kingdom announced that a new Lilo & Stitch themed attraction would be replacing ExtraTERRORestrial Alien Encounter.

[5] Two days later, Alien Encounter would close to the public on October 12 and the Lilo & Stitch remodel was underway.

Even worse, the Cinderella Castle was decorated with toilet paper and a graffiti message that said, "Stitch is King".

Inside the van, there were road signs, a travel guide map, shoes, and boxes with toy dinosaurs.

When the system was modified to include wristbands instead of tickets, this entrance was removed as the popularity significantly declined.

The Grand Councilwoman (voiced by Zoe Caldwell) was shown on the television screens, telling the guests that they would be guards for the United Galactic Federation.

After being taught the basic procedures of guard duty, guests entered the second pre-show, where they were introduced by a robot known as Sergeant C4703BK2704-90210 (Richard Kind).

He performed a demonstration, explaining the types of prisoners that are incarcerated, ranking from Level 1’s to Level 2’s (intending to start off with Level 1’s) and proceeds to demonstrate the teleportation tubes using an alien named Skippy, who appeared in the former ExtraTERRORestrial Alien Encounter in both normal and "deformed" forms, with the "deformed" form retrofitted in this attraction as a separate character known as the "doughnut guy", allowing both forms to appear at the same time, with Skippy said to be caught jaywalking between the moons of Jupiter.

Guests were then instructed by Pleakley (Kevin McDonald) over a public-address system to proceed to the High Security Level 3 prisoner teleportation chamber.

The prisoner was then beamed into the chamber via a large plume of smoke and was revealed to be Experiment 626 (Chris Sanders) (weirdly enough referring to himself as “Stitch”).

As the computer indicated that power had decreased 80%, the TV screens turned off and smoke effects began to blast.

On the way to the gift shops, guests saw a sign labeled "Days without an escape" and a big number going down, along with "wanted posters" featuring some of Stitch's creator Jumba Jookiba's other genetic experiments.

Other special effects include binaural sound, simulated laser cannons, and a pungent smell of a chili dog.
